Ingredients
- 1 large Zucchini
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 cup Fresh coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible using a clean cloth or paper towels. This will help create a crispier fritter.
Step 2
Thinly slice the onion and finely chop the fresh coriander.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine grated zucchini, sliced onion, almond flour, egg, chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, chopped coriander, salt, and baking powder.
Step 4
Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. You should have a thick batter consistency.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture to form each fritter. Carefully place them into the hot oil, gently flattening with a spatula.
Step 7
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the fritters and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the low-carb bhajias hot with a side of mint chutney or yogurt dip.
